Work done

Since our foundation, we have completed over 560 projects. These include reports on businesses of all sizes across the spectrum of sectors; litigation support in international arbitration and other major cases; and multi-jurisdictional enquiries regarding operational matters.

A client engaged us to conduct an enquiry into the ownership and operational control of a company listed on a major exchange. In its early history, there had been a shareholder dispute, which was later settled in court. The main objective was to evaluate the current ownership and day-to-day activities from the local perspective. We conducted discreet enquiries among sources on the ground, giving a nuanced understanding of the situation in the local context. We then compared our findings with the information disclosed for regulatory purposes, creating as complete a picture as possible.

A client commissioned us to conduct enhanced due diligence on an FSU company ahead of a possible investment by a multilateral organisation. Through careful research and enquiries among trusted sources, we created a comprehensive profile of the history, ownership, management, connections, reputation and causes for concern. This ultimately helped to make the appropriate commercial decision.
